    The image looks like our distant ancestor there is crawling in from another dimension, the way the water still encloses its body so high up… or at least like it portaled over from a deep ocean part of the ocean floor.

        Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there’s a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:

          That snake looks dumb as hell. Evolution really fucked with them. It looks like a puppet made by a child when you just describe a snake and they’ve never seen one.

            Unless that snake is endangered it is doing just fine and is adapted over millennia to be built that way and thus live it’s best life

    Not gonna lie it feels a bit strange that my great great great grandpa was a fish.

      5 generations to fish. It seems your family reproduces once every 75 million years on average.

      That feels higher than usual for humans/fish.
